A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Chapter 5 - A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

"You have no idea but... I couldn't stop crying when my eldest son died three months ago. I felt like there was no point in living since then..."

"This baby must be an angel sent from the heavens, and it's here to save me! It might even be Tristan's reincarnation! You have to take care of yourself and deliver it safely!"

On the other hand, Alexander looked upset. His eyebrows furrowed as he glared at Halston.

"What have you done, you brat?! You got another woman pregnant while still being married to Flossie? What is she going to do now? We should never forget what her grandfather has done for us! If he hadn't saved the old man, us Guajardos would've met our demise long ago!"

"The old man and I had promised to take good care of Flossie back then. And yet, you... What am I supposed to say to the old man now, huh? How can we possibly live on knowing we broke our promise to the late Mr. Ellsworth?!"

Out of anger, Alexander tried to slap Halston. "I... I'll kill you!"

Jessanna quickly put herself between the two men, whimpering as she said, "Please don't be angry, Mr. Guajardo. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have gotten pregnant! If this is really that big of a problem, I'll just schedule an abortion tomorrow!"

"No, you mustn't! This child is part of the Guajardo family's bloodline! You have to give birth to it no matter what!" Francine put Jessanna behind her as she howled at Alexander, "Why are you so protective of Ellsworth anyway?! If she really did have an actual relationship with Halston, they'd have children by now! Other women wouldn't have been able to get in between them!"

"Just think about it. She's just the daughter of a fallen family! She doesn't even have any useful talents! She didn't do anything for our family, and she's nothing but a drag! We've been taking care of her for four years already. Isn't that enough to repay their kindness? How is she being mistreated?!"

"It's 2023. We've got a choice to love and marry whoever we want! Halston should be the one to make that decision, so who are you to butt into his business?!"

After her long rant, Francine looked toward the silent Halston and asked. "Tell us, what are your plans, Halston?"

Halston stood tall and proud, an indifferent look on his face as he pondered over his father's words.

His eyes landed on Jessanna's stomach, and he said dismissively, "As you can see, Jessanna is already three months pregnant. This child is part of the family bloodline, so she will need a proper title before the child is born. I've already proceeded with the divorce with Ellsworth. Once we're legally separated, I will register my marriage with Jessanna."

Francine and Jessanna let out a sigh of relief at the same time after hearing this.

However, this statement only made Alexander even more furious. He was on the verge of slapping his son. "You b*stard, so you're being serious about this?! You... You're so foolish that you kicked your wife out to make space for your mistress! Are you insane?!"

"If Flossie's grandfather found out about this, how should he rest in peace? You should know that he used to be quite the soldier and was even appointed as an esteemed general! Aren't you worried that he'd haunt you in your dreams?"

"Just break off this nonsensical relationship!"

Francine crossed her arms, rolled her eyes, then said scornfully, "The Ellsworth family wouldn't have fallen if he really was that great. If we didn't take his only granddaughter in, their bloodline would've ended right then!"

"Don't you remember how many enemies the Ellsworths had back then? We endured the pressure and let her marry into the family regardless! We even made a few enemies ourselves just because of this! Even if we were repaying his kindness, shouldn't this be more than enough?"
